TLDR: SUSE plans on investing $10+ million over the next several years on developing a free binary compatible RHEL fork.

They expect and encourage community input during the development.

SUSE will also continue maintaining SUSE Linux Enterprise, naturally.

    SUSE plans to contribute this project to an open source foundation, which will provide ongoing free access to alternative source code.

    Sounds like they’re spinning this off to a separate legal entity which won’t be profit driven. I’m not saying don’t be cautious, but it looks like they’re taking appropriate steps to work with the community.
